Sv. Rok, Zaštitnik Pasa

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Blagdan sv. Roka je 16. kolovoza. Sv. Rok je zaštitnik Starog Grada - i pasa.

 
Svaka priča ima barem dvije strane, čak i više. Jedan susjed se žalio našoj Udruzi u vezi tih jadnih pasa:

Ovo je e-mail upit putem http://www.eco-hvar.com/ od:  XXX.
Moj susjed ima kuju i štenadi o kojima se nemože brinuti kao ni o sebi. Životinje se pate a o susjedi su uznemireni . Molim da mi se javite. Hvala. D., 18.07.2014.
Odgovor: Hvala na mailu, ali nije mi jasno što namjeravate napraviti u vezi pasa kod Vašeg susjeda? Eco Hvar 20.07.2014.
Štovani, Mi imamo problem sa smradom, izmetom i dlakama koje sa susjedove terase lete na nas stol za rucavanje. Psi su u jako lošem stanju puni krpelja i buha, neuhranjeni. Smješteni su na susjedovoj terasi na najvećem suncu i laju i cvile bez vode. Postoji li kakva institucija koja ih moze udomiti ili nesto slično? D., 21.07.2014.
 
 
 
Odgovor: Poštovani gospodine XXX, Hvala na mailu i širjem objašnjenju. Žao mi da imate takav problem sa psima od susjeda. Nažalost nema skloništa sve do Šibenika. Doduše, pretpostavljam da vlasniku tih pasa bi bilo žao ako njegovi psi su njemu oduzeti silom. Ne znam da li ste razgovarali sa vlasnikom? Da li znate kako se zove? Jedno rješenje bi bilo da Vi dajete hranu i vodu tim psima sve dok ste tu. Barem tako bi prestali lajati. Mi namjeravamo stvoriti sklonište za životinje n Hvaru, ali procedure će trajati. U međuvremenu, imamo namjeru stvoriti privatno prostor di bismo mogli smjestiti takve pse, ali moramo još graditi ogradu i kučice. Bilo bi dobro ako možete mi reći gdje ste u Hvaru, i kako se zove susjed. Ipak možemo pokušati naći neko rješenje za Vaš problem. S poštovanjem, Eco Hvar 21.07.2014.
Gospodin se zove Dragan živimo u Starigradu kod svetog Petra . Razgovarao sam sa vlasnikom i on je voljan dati pse ako ih tko želi . Poštovanje   Best regards D., 21.07.2014.
Odgovor: Hvala još jednom na pažnju. Bilo bi dobro ako nam možete dati broj telefona ili prezime i adresu za tog Dragana, tako da možemo njega kontaktirati, ako nađemo neko rješenje za pse u budućnosti. Žao mi da nemamo odmah rješenje, ali ovdje na otoku je vrlo teško napraviti dobre uvjete za životinja. Lijepi pozdrav, Eco Hvar 22.07.2014.
 
 
Bog Gospodin nema telefon. Dragan živi u Starigradu kod svetog Petra . Dovoljno je kad dodjete da bilo koga upitate za njega u susjedstvu . Ja sa obitelji živim u inozemstvu ali svake godine ljetujemo u svojoj kući i zadnjih par godina je mučenje a ne odmor, ova godina je neizdrživo teško .  Hvala na razumijevanju. Best regards D., 22.07.2014.

Odgovor: Večeras sam bila u Starom Gradu, i sam imala priliku doznati malo više o tim jadnim psima. Ćula sam da jedna gospođa se brine za njih, ukoliko daje njima hranu i vodu, a da su preuzeli korake da bi njih smjestili u skloništu na kopnu. Razgovarat ću sa tom gospođom sutra ako nju dobijem, da znam više iz prve ruke. Lijepi pozdrav, Eco Hvar 23.07.2014.

Gospođa Vesna Lupi se brinula za te pse. Njezin sin Dinko je napisao sljedeći dirljiv tekst na Feisu (tekst je prepisan ovdje uz dozvolu):

" Moj susjed i prijatelj iz djetinstva u Starom Gradu na Hvaru živi na rubu siromaštva. Jedan je od onih koji se nisu snašli u životu punom nedaća, bijede i bolesti. Rijetki su mještani koji mu pomažu, a daleko je više onih koji mu se rugaju, upiru u njega prstom i govore djeci da ga se klone. Jedina radost u njegovom životu bio je Čof, psić kojeg je pronašao i usvojio. Kada biste ga pitali kakvo je to ime, odgovorio bi da ga je dao u čast grčkom filozofu Čofoklu. Kasnije se ispostavilo da je Čof ženka. Tijekom tjeranja ovog proljeća, Čof je pobjegla, i kao rezultat te svoje avanture u svibnju okotila sedam divnih psića. Nijednom psiću nikada nije dao ime, osim Blanki, divnoj čokoladno smeđoj ženki koja se izdvajala po nevjerojatno visokim skokovima u mjestu, kad bi joj se nosila hrana. Osam pasa u kući siromašnog čovjeka navuklo je nevjerojatan gnjev mještana. A on, njihov vlasnik, bio je presretan.

Vjerojatno je po prvi put u životu osjetio što znači imati oko sebe živa bića koja vole. Istina zbog svojih nevolja, on se nije previše mogao brinuti o njima, pa je njihovo hranjenje na sebe preuzela moja mama, koja je time na sebe navukla nevjerojatno okrutne optužbe mještana. Izgleda da je običaj mrziti siromašne i neuspješne, a pogotovo njihove pse i one koji im pomažu. To se potvrdilo i noćas oko tri sata ujutro kada su svi psi otrovani. Ugibali su u najtežim mukama pred očima vlasnika kojeg je glasno gušenje pasa probudilo. Prva je uginula Čof. Glava joj je bila potpuno izobličena, a njuškica prekrivena pjenom. Jedan za drugim odlazili su i psići, a Blanka se najduže borila da preživi, no na kraju uginula je i ona. Susjed plače i zapomaže cijeli dan. Moja mama je izvan sebe. Rijetki su oni mještani koji misle da se noćas u Starom Gradu na Hvaru dogodila tragedija. Puno je više onih koji misle da je tako trebalo biti. "

Novinar Mirko Crnčević je također pisao o događaju u 'Slobodnoj Dalmaciji', i istaknuo kako su ti psi bili 'jedina radost' siromašnog Dragana Silića.

Nama u Udruzi Eco Hvar je izuzetno žao što smo nemoćni u ovakvoj situaciji. Očito treba hitno sklonište za životinje na otoku. Nadležne vlasti svakako bi trebale voditi inicijativu za pomoć životinjama. I hrvatski Zakon o zaštiti životinja bi se trebao poštivati - ili poništiti ako nije u funkciji.

 

 

Ljubiteljima ljubimaca nije shvatlivo ni prihvatljivo da netko može njih mučiti ili ubiti bez srama niti milosti. Takvo kazneno djelo je razlog za tugu i za ljutnju. Ali je također prilika za oproštenje. Kad oprostima onima koji nam zlo naprave, to je prava pobjeda dobra nad zlom.

  • ONS data shows rising toll of climate crisis, with officials warning this summer on track to set further records

    More than 40,000 extra people died on the hottest days in England between 1988 and 2025 than would be expected in normal temperatures, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday.

    The figures do not include this summer, when England has sweltered under a succession of heatwaves and is on track to record its highest ever number of heat-related deaths. The UK Health Security Agency announced on 30 July that an estimated 2,877 people had died in the May and June heatwaves alone. The total is almost double the figure for the whole summer in 2025.

  • Ocean Conservancy says last year’s cleanup collected 13.9m pieces of rubbish from beaches and rivers worldwide

    More than 1.3m plastic bottles were collected from beaches, rivers and waterways last year during the world’s largest single-day volunteer ocean cleanup.

    About 630,000 people took part in the International Coastal Cleanup in 2025, removing almost 13.9m pieces of rubbish from more than 15,000 miles of coastline and waterways.

  • Civil society groups argue climate crisis means transport sector needs to urgently reduce its carbon emissions

    Dozens of civil society groups have demanded the UK government do more to promote cycling and walking, after this summer’s extreme heat exposed the desperate need to decarbonise transport.

    This summer’s heatwaves and wildfires were “immediate, real-world manifestations of the climate emergency”, the groups said, making reform of transport – responsible for more carbon emissions than any other sector in the UK – an urgent priority.

  • Research finds demand has more than doubled since 2000 and 80% of current demand comes from Asia

    A booming demand for concrete has resulted in sand and gravel being extracted from riverbeds faster than nature can replenish it. A study published in Reviews of Geophysics shows that the demand for sand and gravel has more than doubled in the last two decades, with overextraction leading to weaker riverbanks, lower groundwater levels, coastal salt intrusion and poorer water quality.

    In 2024, city-building and infrastructure projects around the world turned 28bn tonnes of sand and gravel into concrete. Researchers reviewed data on sand and gravel extraction going back to 1974 and have shown that since 2000 demand has more than doubled, with more than 80% of current demand coming from Asia, supporting urban development and road-building across China and India in particular. They found much of the material was being extracted from rivers across Asia and Africa. Data on extraction is scarce but where it does exist the researchers showed that extraction often exceeded natural sediment replacement severalfold.

  • Even low levels of traffic noise can negate the benefits of listening to natural sounds, researchers say

    Hearing the trill or whistle of a bird while going about daily life is well known to boost people’s mood. But a new study suggests the psychological benefits of hearing birdsong are being threatened by traffic noise.

    Researchers found that even low levels of traffic noise negatively affected the benefits to wellbeing that could otherwise be derived from listening to natural sounds.

  • Protests and petitions planned amid growing concerns over impact of climate crisis on numbers of Alpine rodent

    Animal rights campaigners are gearing up for protests and petitions aimed at persuading the French government to ban the hunting of Alpine marmots.

    Open season on the rodents, members of the squirrel and groundhog family, begins in September, a few weeks before they go into a long winter hibernation.

  • Asturias, Spain: Wild Finca is thrilling in its ecological abundance, and was created in just eight years despite countless obstacles

    On a rocky 13-hectare pocket in the foothills of the Picos de Europa, Luke Massey and Katie Stacey are raising children, dogs, cattle, chicken, ducks, geese and eyebrows. In their eight years here, the farm they call Wild Finca has become a mass of scrub, with scattered large trees and dozens of clearings that Luke calls fields, but which look more like tiny irregular glades, riddled with trails and hemmed all around by the blackthorn, gorse and bramble that has sprung up around the tumbled remains of drystone walls.

    If Wild Finca is a forever home to the Massey-Staceys, it is a whole world to nature. Witness the butterflies and wasp spiders, the snakes, lizards, hedgehogs and sparrows, and the thousand-piece cricket orchestra that performs each evening as the glow-worms light up. It offers denning and roosting sites for foxes, pine martens, badgers and 17 species of bat, feeding opportunities for roe deer and wild boar, several species of eagle and vulture, and a pit stop for others such as the nightingale I heard singing in early morning mist.

  • Lethal temperatures ​and wildfires have exposed a widening gulf between voters demanding ​action and politicians unwilling to confront the long-term choices global heating requires

    The climate crisis means “we’re going to have to change everything – the way we live, the way we produce, the way we trade,” France’s veteran radical-left firebrand, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, told the summer congress of his France Insoumise party last weekend.

    The term “climate change”, said Mélenchon – the most likely rival to Marine Le Pen in next year’s presidential run-off, according to one poll this week – may sound “almost reassuring”, but its actual impact will feel like “landing on another planet whenever we leave home”.

  • Jack Klein takes heat readings, gives fans to overheated passengers and lugs big jugs of water into the stations

    On a recent August day in the subterranean furnace of New York City’s subway, one bearded, curly-haired man was studying his phone for different reasons than the other wilting passengers – to track the soaring temperatures and ponder how underground train stations can cool down in an era of climate crisis.

    Jack Klein, a 31-year-old construction site manager, has in the past two years taken it upon himself to become a sort of guerrilla subway heat operative, sticking teardrop-shaped thermometers to steel beams in seven of the hottest Manhattan stations and posting social media videos of the hades-like summer temperatures that commuters have to endure.
